SOmething maybe kind of sort of similar...
some kid my oldest went to preschool-HS with- another difficult child to the extreme.....wound up going to a doctor for ? something? and she gave for her address OUR address. her doctor and hospital bills were coming to our house. I used the return address on the envelope to look up phone number of facility and called and said that person had NEVER lived at MY address...and I have lived her 18 years. that person had never even slept overnite here. The facility got mad at me and said if I opened the mail- they would prosecute me for violation of HIPPAA. I said no, I did not open it, I used the return address on envelope to call you and I used the name on the addressed part ----but this is MY house and THAT person has not lived here in at least the last 18 years.
I continued to get the bills. I continued to mark them return to sender. After several months I went to post office. I was nervous by then. I know you can file for an address change for your drivers license etc and use mail that has been sent to an address as "proof" of you living at THAT aaddress and I worried the kid might one day be hanging around when our mail came, and yank the envelope with the bill from our mailbox and use it to have her addresss changed to ours. I also knew she had outstanding warants for court becuz MY dtr is a witness in her trial and she has blown off court.
Post office said I could NOT file a "change of address" on her to get her bills to stop coming to my address becuz SHE has to sign a change of address.
BUT they wrote on the envelope return to sender, not at this address.
Alas, the bills continued to come to my house. and I continued to fear that she might swipe the delivered mail out of my box and that one day the police might show up at my door with a warant or something and come in here looking for her. GRRR. SO I finallly took the bills that kept on coming to the police dept. The police dept told me there was nothing they could do.
It is a horrible feeling to have someone especially someone I KNOW is engaged in criminal activity is useing MY address at least for doctor and hospital bills and I cannot get the post office police dept or the docs offfice to do a thing about it.
GRRRR
MAANY MANY years ago I was being stalked (I mean over 25 years ago) I had the person arrested for ???I do not remember what- back then there were not anti stalking laws. He was actually convicted of whatever it was and put in prison for a couple years. I moved. did not even have a phone....was in a different town different county. ne day I came home from work to find him inside my home. I went to police dept and said get that man out of my house. Police ran a check and said we can't----his parole lists THIS address as HIS.
GRRRR.
I hope you can get this untangled and that it is not going to be something that disrupts things for you further.
